The Property 
Thorngrafton House is a charming stone-built house situated in an enviable, elevated position in a quiet village location, offering panoramic views of beautifully open countryside. The property boasts flexible accommodation and offers considerable potential and scope to further reconfigure and personalise, subject to necessary planning consents. Externally, the property spans over five acres of mixed grazing land and woodland, complemented by a number of useful outbuildings, all set against the backdrop of fabulous views over the Northumbrian scenery. 

An entrance vestibule leads to the welcoming reception hallway, providing access to the main living areas. The sitting room and dining room, located at the rear, are both bright and well-proportioned, featuring original wooden shutters, marble-surround feature fireplaces, and expansive views over open countryside. 

At the front elevation is the cosy snug, which benefits from an inglenook fireplace sitting centrally between two alcoves, with a multi-fuel stove and dressed stone surround, adding a rustic charm to the room. 

The kitchen has been beautifully updated with an inframe solid wood design, featuring a Belfast sink, an electric Rangemaster, and a spacious larder cupboard. Adjacent, the garden room enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, offering a serene space to relax. Additionally, the downstairs WC has been converted into a convenient contemporary shower room. 

A spindled staircase with an arched window at the half-landing level leads to the upper floor, where two bedrooms are positioned at the front elevation and three at the rear. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with the potential for further personalisation. 

Externally 
A double attached garage is situated to the side of the property, with additional hard standing for further vehicle parking. The terraced gardens, set behind stone wall boundaries, are mainly laid to lawn and offer various spots to sit and enjoy the picturesque views. A five-bar gate grants access to a sprawling area that includes both grazing land and mature woodland with large oak trees, together extending over five acres.

Additionally, a range of useful outbuildings, including new stabling, have been erected at the southern perimeter of the grazing paddock. A wood store and storage shed are also available, adding to the practicality of this charming rural retreat.
